Hi All,
First post here...I'm looking at reworking the rear suspension of the wife's 5...it needs shocks, bushing and end links. I'm annoyed there's not yet a Haynes (or anyone else for that matter) out for the 5, but whatever. This seems VERY straight forward and I've seen the videos for doing this on the 3. Any comment on prothane VS thermoplastic bushings? By my measurement the stock bar is 19mm, anyone want to verify that? Looking at KYB shocks. I want to get past stock to a point where the bits will last a reasonable amount of time without getting to highest end stuff (ie Koni @$300/pair) thoughts or Advice?
